KANAL is a new interdisciplinary museum of modern and contemporary art due to open in Brussels in 2026. His research interests and methodologies stem from intersectional approaches to queer and feminist discourse and are guided by his involvement in direct community action and solidarity.
Prior to KANAL he was the Curator of the 2nd Brent Biennial, which took place across 12 venues in Northwest London. He has also held curatorial positions at Metroland Cultures, Cell Project Space and Chisenhale Gallery (all in London), where he worked towards realising multidisciplinary commissions by emerging artists including Alex Baczynski-Jenkins, Hannah Black, Lydia Ourahmane, Paul Maheke, Krzysztof Baginski, Carlos Maria Romero (AKA Atabey Mamasita) and Jose Funnell, amongst others. Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic he curated ‘Queer Correspondence’, a mail-art initiative that reached nearly 1000 subscribers in 42 countries through monthly letter-sized commissioned projects by artists and writers. His independent curatorial projects include: Gelare Khosghozaran, ‘To Be the Author of One’s Own Travels’, Delfina Foundation, London; ‘do you host?’, Ujazdowski Castle CCA, Warsaw; ‘Acts of Translation’, Mohammed and Mahera Abu Ghazaleh Foundation, Jordan; and ‘Experiments on Public Space’, Dallas Museum of Art, Texas. Jones has written criticism on contemporary art and performance for various international platforms and publications, including e-flux, Frieze, Artforum, The Guardian, Flash Art, Mousse and X-TRA. He is currently a faculty member of the Curatorial Studies postgraduate programme at KASK School of Art in Gent and a Trustee at PEER in London.
